Product Description
Original inert .303 British cartridge with Birmingham “B” 1913 headstamp. Scarce pre-WW1 British military ammunition collectible for Lee-Enfield and WW1 displays.
Description:
Original inert .303 British military cartridge featuring a Birmingham “B” 1913 dated headstamp, representing British ammunition manufacture during the final years before the outbreak of the First World War.
The “B” factory code is associated with Birmingham ammunition production of the pre-WW1 era, with early single-letter headstamps being used before later wartime standardisation expanded British military cartridge coding systems. These early dated .303 rounds are increasingly sought after by collectors due to their direct connection with the professional pre-war British Army and early Lee-Enfield service ammunition.
Manufactured in 1913, this cartridge originates from the Edwardian period immediately before the massive wartime ammunition expansion of 1914–1918, giving it strong historical appeal among collectors of:
- WW1 militaria
- Pre-WW1 British Army equipment
- Lee-Enfield rifles
- British Empire ammunition
- .303 British headstamp variations
The round retains an authentic military appearance with period brass casing and original projectile profile, making it an excellent display or reference example.
